Investigators searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 are examining an object found off the coast of Mozambique, as early photographic analysis suggests it could be part of the ill-fated Boeing 777 aircraft. The object was discovered in a sandbank in the Mozambique Channel, in the same region of the southern Indian Ocean where the sole confirmed piece of debris –a flaperon – was found last July, NBC News reported.

The words “NO STEP” can be seen on the object, which could be from the aircraft’s horizontal stabilizer – the wing-like part attached to the tail. It was found by an American who has been blogging about the search for the missing jet. While investigators in Malaysia, Australia and the United States have looked at its photographs, with officials saying there's a good chance the object was part of a Boeing 777, the American aircraft manufacturer has declined to comment.

This comes days before the second anniversary of the plane’s disappearance. On March 8, 2014, Flight MH370 was en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board. So far, attempts to locate it have made no headway, besides the flaperon that washed ashore on Reunion Island, east of Madagascar, last July. Malaysia Airlines said it was “too speculative at this point” to comment. The Joint Agency Coordination Centre said if no “credible new information” surfaced by mid-2016, the search will end.
